Yipee, I've just taken delivery of a Tom Senior M1 with both horizontal and vertical features included. The vertical head is the S-type with its own drive motor.
 
Steve Cox of Landylift collected it from Preston and brought it down to Essex this morning.
Can't recommend Steve highly enough..
 
Now I'm even a more merrier miller., let's get machining.

Hi There
Can you give me a list of the head speeds, the S type.
I have a light vertical with the S type head but no speed chart.
regards David

It's from about 1962 David but I will try to sort it.
I might have to calculate the speeds.
 
The head is attached to the over-arm so you can pull the head away from the main body to give greater reach for the cutters.

Hi There
Mine is similar I think except it does not have the horizontal spindle.
The head is on a round bar with and index on a large diameter disk but I think you could pull it out a few inches.
Only thing is you would lose alignment.
Any chance of a photo?
regards David

David, some more info.
The head is a stepped four pulley arrangement with poly-vee belt drive.
 
I notice from an early manual they were three speed pulleys giving 750, 1450, and 2800 rpm using a conventional "A" section vee belt

Tom Walshaw in the ME from June 17 1977 gives a run down of the V head.
He says the 4-step pulley gives speeds of 500, 970, 1660 and 2800 rpm.
He doesn't say what speed motor for those speeds but goes on to say that with a lower speed motor you will get 340, 600, 1000 and 1600 rpm.

Hi There
I must have the low speed motor.
Must go and get a bicycle computer at the weekend and find out for sure.
